Banana Nut Bread Smoothie

from Chow Bella

1/2 cup sliced banana

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (you can use full fat or nonfat, but it will change the nutrition profile. I use nonfat because that's all I had available)

1 cup unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk

1 scoop naturally-sweetened vanilla whey protein powder

2 tbsp chopped pecans

1 tbsp ground flax seeds

1. The night before, peel the banana and cut it into rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Place in a freezer bag or reusable container and freeze. Take an empty ice cube tray and spoon the yogurt into the slots. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and freeze.

2. Add the frozen ingredients to the blender along with all the rest. Blend until very smooth. Serve immediately.
